At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) Science Frontier Plenary Session held on July 26, the Global Artificial Intelligence Innovation Index Report 2025 was officially released. The report was jointly compiled by the Chinese Institute of Scientific and Technological Information and Peking University and has been released at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference for five consecutive years.

In 2024, global artificial intelligence venture capital will rebound to US$137 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25%. The United States' advantage in capital continues to expand, and its artificial intelligence venture capital accounts for 66% of the world. At the same time, artificial intelligence capital continues to gather towards mature companies and technology giants. The proportion of mid- and late-round artificial intelligence venture capital has increased from 35% in 2020 to 47% in 2024. "Super financing" with a single amount of more than US$1 billion accounts for nearly 70% of the total financing, most of which are led by technology giants.
